My Ike Baby

Ralphie: Hey Curly, what all happens in a hurricane?

Curly: The wind blows so hard the ocean gets up on its hind legs and walks right across the land.
 
Key Largo (1948)
 
 
Born & raised in Miami Beach, I thought I knew hurricanes.  But, then on September 13, 2008,  I met Ike.   He rocked my world.  
 
  • He blew kisses at me from afar - 110 MPH winds.  
  • He put rose petals on my bed -  and a tree through my fence.   
  • He knocked me up - OK, my husband did.   
 
So, here's to  you Ike.  If it wasn't for you and your gust-ful ways Houston's birthrate wouldn't have spiked in early June & I wouldn't have welcomed the birth of my son.
